Mis?Adventures in Watercolor-Spalted Pecan

If you are on Twitter you may have discovered a daily paper that is produced by edisonpenco, the Writing Instruments Daily. If not, and you are interested in pens, paper and jounals, I recommend you follow him (her? him, I think, lol).

In today's issue, there was a link to some Spalted Pecan vases.  They were gorgeous!  I wanted to hold one and just rub my hands over them to feel the texture.

So, I did the next best thing--I tried recreating the texture with watercolor.  Eh.  I think I got an onion instead, but hey!  That's how you learn!  This was done entirely with my Koi watercolors-Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber & a touch of Cobalt Blue Hue.
